For the few of you who have never played Yahtzee before, it is your basic dice rolling game where you try to roll different dice combinations. Yahtzee Hands Down takes this idea and turns it into a card game. While it is far from perfect, Yahtzee Hands Down may actually be better than the original game.

Most of the strategy in Yahtzee Hands Down comes down to what combos you decide to go after. You can try to go for the easier combos to make sure you are one of the players that will get a card or you can try and wait to get one of the higher combos in order to score more points. I could see both strategies working some of the time. While the cards that get dealt to you will usually determine what combos you go after, occasionally you will get a chance to decide what combo you want to go after.
The other strategic decision comes from when to declare your combo. Whenever you have a combo in your hand, you can call it by placing your cards face down. If you indeed have a combo you will get a point card no matter what combo the other player plays. Playing the first combo gives you the tiebreaker over other players who would play the same combo that you played.
Overall I think the chance cards add some interesting things to the game but at the same time could have been implemented better. I like the chance cards since it is a consolation prize to the player who had the lower combo. This also rewards players that declare combos earlier since they are guaranteed to earn some points. The problem is that the chance cards add even more luck to the game since some are way too valuable. You could end up earning more points by taking a chance card than the player that actually won the combo card. This actually happened in the game that I played.
One idea that I think could add more strategy to the game while also speeding up the game would be to allow players to draw new cards from the discard pile along with the draw pile. I think this would speed up the game because I was constantly running into situations where the other players were getting the cards that I needed and they would end up discarding them. The other reason I think it would improve the game is that it would force players to be more careful about what cards they discard. If a player knows that the card they want to discard is a card that the next player needs, they may be more willing to hold it to prevent the other player from being able to take it.
Yahtzee Hands Down is a very average card game. I had some fun with the game as it is quick and easy to play. The game does some interesting things with the Yahtzee formula and in some ways might have improved upon the original game. The game has some rules that could have been improved though and the game still relies heavily on luck which prevents it from being anything more than a very average game.
I think the biggest problem that I had with Unusual Suspects was the fact that the length of rounds can vary significantly. Unusual Suspects is the type of game that would have worked well as a quick filler type game if each round would take five minutes or less. Occasionally you will have some quick rounds where a player wins within five minutes. Based on my experience though this occurs maybe half of the time. Theoretically a round of Unusual Suspects could never end. You will regularly play rounds that take ten or more minutes. Until a player gets lucky and has their hand match the dice, the cards and dice will just keep changing until someone ultimately wins. Unless several players are working towards the same goal, the players will end up working against one another making it harder for any player to win the round.
Yahtzee is the world's most popular commercial dice game, first introduced in the 1950's and still a best-seller today. It is based on a game called "Yacht", and is also related to a Puerto Rican game called "Generala". To play the game you roll five dice in a effort to make different combinations of the five dice for the most points. Shoot for three-of-a-kind, four-of-a-kind, a full house, a straight, and more. If these "hands" sound familiar, it's because they're based on standard poker hands, with a few extra bonus hands thrown in.
Updated versions: The original game was updated several times between 1866 and 1911, but its popularity faded as games that promoted fun over morals swept the country. In the 1950s, the Milton Bradley Company hired game inventor Reuben Klamer, who worked with Bill Markham to update the game for the company's 100th anniversary. Klamer added a three-dimensional game board, tinkered with the rules, renamed it The Game of Life and inked a promotional deal with TV personality Art Linkletter. More changes came in the 1990s when the game added tiles that promoted environmentalism, family activities and community service. Now, 150 years after it was first created, fans can play it as a computer game or download it as an app.
